"And we're learning how to make a table center piece for any party. Now what ever your theme you can choose from tons of different hats and we have like hundreds of hats to choose from at Party Land but this time I'm just going to use a plain black plastic top hat and these are just a little over a dollar to buy and sometimes you can even buy them in bulk. If you have a giant party that you're planning for. The first step is to cut ether a small hole or a square, rectangle. Like in this one I just cut that and then once we're ready to go. We'll fill it in so you won't even see the hole. So I'm just going to cut. It's easier to cut a square because then you don't have to worry about being. You know getting the knife to go in a curve. So I'm going to cut a little tiny square here and just poke it in and you can just leave the excess down there because no one's going to see it by the time we're done."
